Chapter 1 About the PROXIM WLAN 802.11b/g
device
1-1 Introduction
The PROXIM WLAN 802.11b/g device allows you to access Wireless Local Area Networks
(WLANs), share a local printer and files with others in your network, access the Internet, and roam
about the office— wirelessly. This wireless Local Area Network solution is designed for both large
and small businesses, and it is scalable so that you can add users and new network features as your
networking needs grow.
The PROXIM WLAN 802.11b/g device is a 2.4Ghz WLAN technology that will operate with at a
maximum data rate of 11Mbps with 802.11b and maximum data rate of 54Mbps with 802.11g
wireless networks. The PROXIM WLAN 802.11b/g device will automatically detect and
seamlessly roam between both 802.11b and 802.11g wireless networks.
1-2 Using a Wireless Local Area Network
A wireless LAN provides the same functionality of a wired network, but it eliminates the need to
install networking cables and other networking equipment. Not only is a wireless LAN easier to
deploy, but it also allows for mobility through “roaming.” For example the PROXIM WLAN
802.11b/g device can roam from a conference room to an office without being disconnected from
the network.
NOTE: the device would be using three types of antennas. The channels would be restricted
to 9 channels only (Ch2 to Ch10) as using the antenna “AOU24-OD-55-B”.
